Hey Diesel, Listen man don't feel bad. I'm a forty year old black guy and I feel BLM is just another corporation scam to use people as a scapegoat or pure misdirection. The moment fingers were pointed at our china master, police brutality become a glaring issue. So in my 40 years I know bullshit when I see it and that what's going on. Trust in the fact that NO ONE is being heard on the issue and it's all misdirection, buddy.

Diesel, I gotta say, I found this video incredibly interesting. I personally am half Latino and half Middle Eastern, though I would call myself "white passing" because I am on the lighter side and have blonde highlights, which causes people to mistake me as white. I really identified with your points about how anyone can be racist, even someone Latino. Its always been apparent to me that the Latino community has a problem with casual racism, with darker skinned Latinos called "negro" or "negrito" and lighter skinned Latinos called "guera" or "guerita" (my mom's family calls me that all the time). As well, people who look Asian will get called "chinito." And this is the thing, I get why organisations like BLM are specifically against police brutality, and I understand why a lot of black activists target most of their claims of racism towards white people; there's a good amount of racist white people. But I think colorism and racism in the Latino community is something that needs to be talked about as well, and it's something that needs to change, because I've called out Latinos for using that language and they'll tell me "oh chill out it's just our culture." Anyways, I hope your doing well and I'm glad your recovering <3
